Awesome music, rubbish imagery. If you can’t have both, it’s best to have it that way round.

Lean and spry, wiry and angular as all fuck, Antigama surgically devastate your eardrums with hail upon hail of viciously precise blows.

I can’t quite believe I was oblivious to their idiosyncratic math-grind assault until last week. Now I can’t go a day without feasting on their really rather groovy lightspeed-tom-roll-drenched skronk.

This month these mentalist Poles released their first record for three years, Stop the Chaos.

Positive coverage of this new EP that mentioned MDG favourites Trap Them and PigDestroyer sent me scurrying to 2009 full-length The Warning.

Mind: blown.

The Warning has way more notes and free jazz dissonance than I usually tolerate. Spastic time changes don’t typically impress me. I have no time for Dillinger Escape Plan, Botch et al.

But ooh-wah, this shit is seriously funkeh. It’s also like having your earholes stabbed and sandpapered, brain sucked out with a vacuum cleaner and electrodes taped to your balls, let us not forget.

But it’s also damn rocking. Want proof? Check out Lost Skull.

Did I not tell you? Pantera-gone-grind with pinch harmonics and awesome cartoonish tom-rolls. Outrageously groovy and yet still skronktastic.

Speak to the Monkey

I'm keen to support all new music. So if you'd like to send me your band's album or demo for possible review or mention then please email:

I can't promise I'll post about it or even be nice about it but I'll definitely listen to it.
